Desire is a fantastic and artistic film. This is not a film for the average multi-plex masses. It is deliberate, ambiguous, thought-provoking, dark, and emotionally-bleak.
The plot revolves around a married couple who seem to have nothing to offer each other, no love, and only inter-dependence based on habit. Both the husband and wife are seeking sex elsewhere, however neither seem to be looking for love, romance or companionship.
The characters are almost exclusively self-obsessed, egotistic, self-destructive, emotional shells. Obviously this makes it difficult for the viewer to connect emotionally with the characters, however, if you look closely you will see parts of yourself in these characters, and you will then find yourself sympathising with them as they unravel.
The production qualities are very high, the acting and direction is superb. This is a film that will stay with you and raise many questions for you to consider about selfishness, life, love, dependence, self-destruction.
I think the most amazing accomplishment by the director Eung-su Kim is that although none of the characters are very likable (even to each other) I found myself drawn to their plight. These are loveless people trapped in their own loveless worlds, and they seem to do everything they can to keep themselves in that state.
